The man is extremely upset and potentially delirious. This appears to have happened after he hit his head from being thrown from his seat, so it’s possible he was still out of it after being assaulted.

United Airlines CEO did finally make a statement about the event and totally gave a non-apology.

“Re-accommodate” is a chilling way to describe the events that happened. What a terrible response to this awful situation. As someone who flies fairly regularly, I’m going to avoid United at all costs.
